Supplementation of docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) in infancy improves neuro-developmental outcomes, but there is limited information about the impact of supplementing pregnant mothers with DHA on the development of their infants. In a follow-up of a randomized, double-blind controlled trial with 400 pregnant mothers, the effects of supplementation of fish-oil or soy-oil (4 g/day) during the last tr...

The value of heat treatment in improving the nutritive value of soy bean oil meal has long been known. More recently, however, the deleterious effect of autoclaving too long or at too high a temperature has been demonstrated (l-4). Evans and McGinnis (3) attributed this decrease in nutritive value caused by overheating to the lowered availability of methionine. Riesen et al. (5) in work with ra...

The interaction of dietary protein type and fat level on the body fat-reducing activity of conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) was studied in male rats fed diets containing casein (CAS) or soy protein (SOY) as a protein source with low fat (LF, 6.0% soybean oil) or high fat (HF, 13.0% soybean oil) combinations for 4 weeks. CLA was added at the 1.0% level to all diets. The weight of perirenal adipose...

Hypocholesterolemic activity of dietary polyunsaturated fatty acids is observed after relatively short-term but not long-term feedings, and their long-term feedings are suspected to accelerate aging through tissue accumulation of lipid peroxides and age pigments (lipofuscin). To define the long-term effects of fats and oils in more detail, female mice were fed a conventional basal diet suppleme...

Both dietary unsaturated fat and raw soybean products are known to enhance pancreatic carcinogenesis when fed during the postinitiation phase. A comparison of these two dietary components was made to evaluate the relative potency of each ingredient for enhancing pancreatic carcinogenesis and to determine if this enhancement was correlated with an increase in plasma cholecystokinin (CCK) levels....

the acrylated epoxidized soy oil (aeso) was synthesized from epoxidized soy oil and its properties were investigated.  wheat straw particle boards were produced by the synthesized resin with 8% and 13% contents based on straws weight at three pressing times: 8,10 and 12 min. boards’ modulus of rapture, modulus of elasticity, internal bonding, minimum degree of thickness change and water absorpt...

BACKGROUND Soy oil is a major vegetable oil consumed in the US. A recently developed soybean variety produces oil with a lower concentration of α-linolenic acid, hence a higher (n-6)/(n-3) ratio, than regular soy oil. The study was conducted to determine the metabolic impact of the low α-linolenic acid containing soy oil. METHODS Ossabaw pigs were fed diets supplemented with either 13% regula...

Increased luminal bile acid hydrophobicity is associated with cytotoxicity and has been suggested to contribute to gut barrier dysfunction. The aim of this study was to compare 2 high-fat diets and a low-fat diet as to whether they modify fecal bile acid profile and hydrophobicity and/or susceptibility to dextran sodium sulfate (DSS) colitis in C57Bl/6J mice. Control and DSS-Control groups rece...

Chiffon cakes prepared with a mixture of wheat flour / konjac flour / soy protein isolate (SPI) (89.5 : 0.5 : 10 ) together with replacement of 50-70% soybean oil with water were investigated for their physicochemical and sensory properties. Moisture and protein content in reduced-fat chiffon cakes were significantly higher (p < 0.05) than the control chiffon cake. Specific volume decreased (p ...
